He then fought against the demon Ananias 200 years ago, losing and finding himself bound in the form of a cat.  After the party freed him from his bound form, he has proven a wise sage, helpful in many matters, yet always quiet and reclusive.  He suffers no fools, as shown when Shaun annoyed him and the dragon (still in half elf form) polymorphed him into a cat for several hours.The party only recently discovered his true nature.  As they went through his old homeland, he found it incredibly hard to resist sneaking off to stretch out for a few hours while the rest of hte party slept.  Unfortunately, the party caught sight of him and followed, spotting him in his full form.  Luckily, the party realized his fear of rejection, and lovingly embraced him for who he is.(There is alot yet to be revealed about this NPC, and his background is tied to the plot of the campagin...)</blockquote>
